What is Giant Elephant Ear?
Alocasia macrorrhizos, commonly known as Giant Elephant Ear or Giant Taro, is a striking evergreen tropical plant. Its massive foliage and upright growth habit make it a standout feature in tropical gardens, shaded courtyards and large landscape plantings. When paired with Heliconias, Gingers, Philodendrons and Cordylines, it creates a dense, lush tropical atmosphere.
How to Care for Giant Elephant Ear
Plant in rich, well-draining soil and water regularly during the warmer months, allowing the soil surface to dry slightly between watering. Position in part shade, and feed with a balanced slow-release fertiliser to support strong, healthy growth.
Ideal Growing Conditions
The Giant Elephant Ear prospers in Australia's subtropical and tropical regions. It appreciates humidity and benefits from a sheltered location protected from harsh winds. While it favours partly shady spots, it can also handle full sunlight.
